The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Qin State Harem Palace, Mingxin Palace.

This is the bedroom of the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji. Since Qin Zheng became the emperor, her status will naturally rise and become the most noble person in the harem.

Now she is pregnant with the late emperor's posthumous child, her stomach is already swollen, and she is very careful at all times. Back then, her own flesh and blood died when she was born, and whenever she missed her child, she would cry uncontrollably. Now that she has her own child again, the regret in her heart has been relieved.

"Where's Lai Ai?" Zhao Ji lay limp and asked her confidant.

The old woman said: "I am resting in the house, do you need to be summoned by the servant?"

Zhao Ji shook her head and said, "I was exhausted last night, let him have a good rest."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ji thought about other things.

Although Li Si is dead, the emperor Qin Zheng's attitude towards her has also become extremely bad. He used to visit the palace often to pay her respects, but now he doesn't come at all. Of course, there is tension in Qin State, but more of it is Qin Zheng's attitude towards her. Doubts arose about his own life experience.

This made Zhao Ji feel a headache, and couldn't help resenting the dead Li Si. If this situation develops, it will greatly affect Zhao Ji's follow-up plan.

At the same time, Lao Ai also felt a headache.

Lai Ai stayed in the room without resting, but locked the door tightly, reading the handwritten letter sent to him by his cousin.

Last time, in order to assassinate Li Si, Lai Ai had to appear from a fake death and contacted her cousin Wang Dazhi. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before Li Si was actually assassinated to death. Since then, Lai Ai has been I understand, it was definitely not by accident that I came to Qin.

At this time, I received a letter from my cousin, which verified Lao Ai's conjecture. After reading the contents of her mind, Lai Ai felt a headache.

Emperor Xia actually asked himself to assassinate Emperor Qin on the condition of being a Marquis!

In the past, Lai Ai would absolutely sneer at him, but he is the biological father of the future Qin Emperor, a little Xia Guohou, what a fart!

But now?

Qin Zheng has already doubted his life experience. Although Li Si is dead, the seeds of doubt in Qin Zheng's heart have been buried in his heart, which makes it a problem whether their follow-up plans can be realized. If he can't realize it, will he stay in Mingxin Palace forever as a fake eunuch?

I am still so young, Zhao Ji is still beautiful now, but what about ten years, or even twenty years?

Lao Ai can't imagine staying here and living a life like years.

Moreover, now that Qin State was defeated by Da Xia, it is hard to say whether Qin Chao can survive this predicament.

So Lao Ai had a headache, and he didn't know how to choose.

"Should I gamble on the future, but should I choose to make a profit instead of losing money?" Lao Ai muttered to herself, unable to make up her mind.

 …

After taking Shanxi County, the soldiers and horses repaired for two days, and then continued westward.

The city of Shanxi County was lost, and all Qin soldiers in Shanxi County withdrew westward, so the Daxia soldiers and horses did not encounter any fighting, and entered Yangyang County five days later.

In Yangyang County, it is the node of the second line of defense. It is in charge of the commander Zhang Chao. It has about 400,000 troops. It is also a mixture of Qin soldiers and recruited people, plus the fleeing Qin soldiers joined in, so it reaches 400,000.

Zhang Chao's strategy is completely different from Liu Shuai's prudent defense of counties and cities. He divided the 400,000 troops into four parts, with 100,000 troops guarding the balcony city, and the remaining troops lined up in the shape of a character in front of the balcony city. The intention of actively attacking was very obvious. Even if you lose, you can retreat to the balcony county for defense.

Faced with Zhang Chao's provocation, Han Xin's strategy was to break through at the same time, separate out three soldiers and horses, each leading 80,000 troops, and attack Zhang Chao's pin-shaped formation at the same time.

Qin Jun did not take advantage of the terrain to play head-to-head. Xia Jun would be ashamed if he dared not fight. Han Xin is most afraid of head-to-head.

In fact, Han Xin could guess Zhang Chao's intentions. Instead of relying on terrain defense, he wanted to trade lives for lives and consume Xia Jun's strength. The Xia army has a total of 1.6 million soldiers. Two Qin soldiers consume one Xia army, and they will sacrifice 3.2 million. With a population of more than 70 million, are you still afraid of consumption? As long as the Xia army can be defeated, it is a victory!

Therefore, Zhang Chao, who has a staunch personality, decided to go head-to-head and exchange his life for his life. He has made up his mind that even if his own army is wiped out, he will bite off a large piece of Xia Jun's flesh, so that Meng Tian, ​​who is on the third line of defense, will be greatly defeated. Generals create greater odds.

Both Han Xin and Zhang Liang understood, so they had planned ahead.

The army marched for more than ten days and approached Zhang Chao's defense line.

Xiao Rui did not continue to follow the army forward, but stopped behind. He was protected by a hundred thousand troops, and he was not afraid of being attacked by the Qin army. The 10,000 to 20,000 Qin army could not perform the beheading action at all. Besides, the two wings are Li Cunxiao, Dianwei, and Yang Youji's soldiers and horses, as well as powerful scouts for scouting, let alone the large-scale Qin army. Unless the opponent can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, avoiding the formation of troops by Han Xin and Zhang Liang.

So Xiao Rui played chess with Jia Xu at ease, waiting for the good news from the front line.

According to Han Xin's layout, Wu Zhanfa led 80,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Qin army on the left, Wei Guang led 80,000 soldiers and horses to attack the right Qin army, and Han Xin personally led 80,000 troops to attack Zhang Chao's main force in the middle. Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang had already memorized Han Xin's layout, so they knew how to fight this battle, and then the three parties separated to find their respective enemies.

Han Xin led 80,000 troops and marched for more than 100 li, and finally met Zhang Chao's 100,000 troops.

Here is a flat terrain without mountains and rivers. The two armies confront each other in this terrain, that is to see whose soldiers are strong, whose horses are strong, and whose equipment is strong.

What Zhang Chao put out was a matrix, and the 100,000 troops were divided into five camps. And Han Xin's 80,000 soldiers and horses formed a Six Ding Liujia formation.

Seeing Xia Jun's formation, Zhang Chao frowned.

The opponent led his troops to kill, naturally he wanted to fight to the death, but why did he set up a circular formation, which seemed to be mainly defensive?

And the more he looked at this formation, Zhang Chaoyue was startled.

I saw that the opponent's entire array is divided into twelve parts, and the twelve parts form a huge circular array, and the array is not fixed, and changes in an orderly manner with the manipulation of the array flag.

"What array is this? It's never been heard before!" Zhang Chao felt a little bit of something wrong, and he thought of the purpose of this trip with a little panic in his heart.

Fighting with one's life, consuming the opponent's strength!

Now that you have made up your mind to fight to the death, what are you waiting for!

"Blow the horn of attack! Attack!"

Zhang Chao immediately raised his arms and shouted, and the herald beside him immediately blew the attack horn. This time, there were no generals in front of the battle, but only a charge to destroy the enemy in front of him!

Han Xin sits at the center of the Liuding Liujia formation, watching the Qin army launch an attack, he laughed, and said with a smile: "Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang should have results!"

The screen shifts to the north and south.

Wu Zhanfa led troops to attack the Qin army on the left. After the soldiers and horses of the two sides approached, they fought directly. Not long after the confrontation, another Xia army came from the south, which was Li Cunxiao's soldiers.

Li Cunxiao's soldiers and horses attacked from behind, so the Qin army on the left was immediately defeated, and was quickly killed and fled.

And Wei Guang led his troops to attack the Qin army on the right. After the soldiers and horses of the two sides approached to fight, a Xia army soldier and horse came out from the north, which was obviously Dian Wei's soldier and horse.

So the fate of the Qin army on the right can be imagined. They were pinched from front to back and fled directly.

It turned out that after Han Xin separated from Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang, Han Xin deliberately slowed down, so Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang fought against the Qin army first. And as early as Zhang Chao's intentions were discovered, Han Xin didn't really intend to go head-to-head, and Da Xia's troops could not be consumed, so he immediately sent a letter to Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei with the eagle report.

The two of them are on the two wings of the central army. Although they have their own offensive lines, from the very beginning, their mission is to serve the central army at any time.

Therefore, Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei immediately dispatched 40,000 troops to sneak attack from behind, directly injuring the Qin army, and preventing Zhang Chao's plot from succeeding.

Also because Han Xin deliberately slowed down the marching speed, when Han Xin and Zhang Chao confronted each other, Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang had already ended, and the fleeing Qin army would naturally flee to Zhang Chao.

So next, an interesting scene happened.

Zhang Chao led his troops to attack Han Xin's Liuding Liujia Formation, which was second only to the Bagua Formation in terms of defense, so it was impossible for Zhang Chao to tear it open. So while they were still gnawing on this hard bone of Xia Jun, the Qin Jun who fled from the north and the south rushed over.

Hearing that the other two armies were routed and suffered heavy casualties, Zhang Chao was shocked.

He had just started the battle, how could the other two have been defeated, and they had already fled here.

Zhang Chao was not stupid, so he immediately understood, no wonder Han Xin arrived late, it turned out that he deliberately slowed down so that the north and the south could fight first.

Now that the defeats of the North and the South have come, it has directly affected Zhang Chao's soldiers' morale.

At this moment, Han Xin's soldiers and horses immediately changed their alignment, and the Liuding Liujia formation was directly divided into twelve parts, turning from defense to offense. The attack drums roared rapidly, and Xia Jun began to counterattack.

As soon as the army's morale was scattered, it fell directly into a weak position. The Qin army retreated steadily, and there was no courage to fight with their lives.

Zhang Chao had no choice but to call Jin to retreat, and return to Yangyang county first.

Han Xin led his troops to chase for dozens of miles, and finally stopped.

Next, Wu Zhanfa and Wei Guang's troops came to meet up, while Li Cunxiao and Dianwei's troops returned to their route. Xiao Rui in the rear was accustomed to hearing the victory, and then ordered the army to continue marching, and Han Xin in the front After rendezvous, the soldiers approached outside the city of Yangyang County.

Afterwards, the army set up camp.

Zhang Chao fled back to the city of Yangyang County. After counting the number of troops, there were only 150,000 troops left. As for the other troops, except those who died in battle and those who were captured, all the others were dispersed.

Some of the Qin people who were forcibly conscripted probably also deserted and were unwilling to continue to die, so even if there are Qin soldiers returning in the future, the number will be limited.

So how should Zhang Chao defend the balcony county?

Apply to the imperial court for reinforcements?

How could the imperial court have any extra troops? The Daxia soldiers were divided into eight groups and attacked from eight directions. Qin had to defend each route, which required nearly two million troops! Moreover, heavy troops had to be garrisoned near the capital of Qin, so as not to make mistakes, and Daxia seized the opportunity to directly attack the capital of Qin.

This situation is impossible?

Then how did the three passes of the Qinling Mountains get lost?

That's why Qin Zheng was also afraid that Xia Guoming's repair of the plank road would secretly hide Chen Cang, and he directly came up with a beheading plan.

"If there is no reinforcements, then defend this city to the death!" Zhang Chao made up his mind and decided to live and die with Yangyang County.

But in the next few days, the Daxia soldiers and horses had no intention of attacking the city.

At the same time, the temperature is getting colder and colder, and the water in the river has formed thick ice.
